It's about time we get a clip thats not apart of the Trailer :).
Sweet - looks beautiful. I wonder if the music is from the score. I guess this is a short cut of a much longer landing and approach sequence.
Given what is said about the composition of the atmosphere, I guess they wear helmets as, what, biohazard protection, or to keep the cold out...?

I hope that's not the full clip of the landing. Not enough 'meat' to it. If it is, I can't help but feel they are just rushing us down to the planet.
I'd prefer a longer descent with more mystery.
Just sayin. Wonderful visuals and atmosphere!

Nice. I love all that smoke, dust and debris being kicked up as the ship touches down. Very Nostromo like. :)

This definitely feels like it's been cut down big time. I bet the actual scene in the film is longer.
It's just a small clip, I know the movie is 124 minutes long.

There has to be some major cuts in this clip. We see Prometheus entering the atmosphere, and literally seconds later we see Holloway discern the straight lines (roads?) leading to the temple structures. That transition seemed way to abrupt.
Also, I am curious about the need for the pressure suits/helmets? The atmospheric gas ratios are basically Earth-like, with nice proportion of Nitrogen to Oxygen (21% O2). However, they didn't explain the total or partial pressures, so I guess that while the ratios may be good, the density may be too low. Of course, the other possibility is that perhaps they determine the atmosphere is breathable, but are concerned about biologicals. In any event, we see know Holloway removes his helmet at one point, once inside a temple.
Typically, online clips such as these are cut short, often horribly, just to condense information.
I wish they didn't release clips at all :/
to be honest, i wasn't fond of this clip, it felt very 'star wars' to me, the visuals, everything really. i mean the new star wars trilogy too.
i didnt feel the sense of 'realism' in it, in ALIEN it seems kinda objective and documentary in its 'view' that we see it through.
we didnt have cute lines like 'just like home' in alien, or dallas saying 'this is the captain' or dallas saying 'nostromo has landed.
i know the crew in this film is different and they havent flown out together before, and they aren't a team that is familiar in that respect, so that can be considered, but even then, i don't know.
i'll enjoy this film, but hoping for something as enjoyable and appreciable as alien is unhealthy for me, and i should do my best to avoid it so i can enjoy this more fairly.

I was about to ask that, "How long will be this movie". Great more than 120 min ;D
Re: the reaction of the Nostromo crew, those guys were just going through the professional motions. Nothing remarkable about space travel or flight or landing to them. The Prometheus crew are pioneers; they're excited, giddy, etc. The bad thing about the clip is its editing, which is jarring, and that, well, personally I like to go into a film 'clean'. I thought the trailers were enough as it is. The bloody temptation of these clips ...
Yeah you're right guys. This has to be cut down.
Because everyone buckles up at the command of Janek, and 6 seconds later they're up and out of their seats asking/telling the Captain where he should land.
Notice the captain has no hat at first than he does..then he does not...
I would say that the the term "clip" is a bit misleading, if we are going by the traditional usage in the industry...which is a short, continuous unedited sequence taken from the final film. This is more of a "montage" of scenes involving the Prometheus entering the atmosphere, and landing sequence.

The editing is pretty shoddy in that clip. At one point, it jumps from a baseball cap wearing Janek and in the next shot, he is apparently baseballcap-less.

It sure is badly edited - lousy continuity too. I just hope that it's not like that in the actial film!
This clip was absolutely pointless. A terribly condensed mess which begs the question why even bother? The film's out in under three weeks :-\

No bad continuity here: Notice that when he's going to the control panel, you can see his hat laying on the panel. So he puts it on there and only wears it for a short time. Right before they touch down, there's nobody at the front panel anymore. Seems he's operating from there only during the atmosphere entry scene.
Wow everyone is acting like this short clip is the real thing.
This happens way too much on the internet.

No there is no way it is going to be like that in the movie. That would be a terrible editing job. I mean, it is fairly obvious there is a lot of discontinuity there, as in when Holloway talks to the Cpt. and how the descent is missing about half of the time of descent.
Anyways - great clip! I can't wait!
Yeah....that's more a hybrid clip. I didn't really like the dialogue either, or its delivery....

Even if the landing was 5 minutes long - could they just not give us the whole five minutes? I mean seriously - what is it going to ruin? Is the movie that bad that a simple scene would detract people from going to see it?

Look up there. (points to video) Now, do you see the words "Real Full Scene" anywhere on that video?.
Try using a magnifying glass. See it now?.
Well that's because it's not the complete scene.
He doesn't say 3 in the countdown. How is this supposed to be better than AVP?
Spoiler
j/k sorry -
Anyone else think that this movie is simply going to be EPIC beyond comparison? I don't care if Averngers or Batknight make more money - this is simply going to be the best movie to come out this summer, and possibly for some time after that.
Just this one clip gives me goosebumps. I cannot imagine what I will be feeling after walking out of the theater.
Cvalda....I've voiced my concerns from day one, particularly Noomi's "It's an invitation" line which felt absolutely fake. I have my misgivings, to be sure. What I'm realizing is that when I watch clips, etc... I'm replaying ALIEN at the same time thereby not giving Prometheus a fair shake. ;)
"How is this supposed to be better than AVP?" funniest thing I've read yet. Jesus Qwertify! Ease off it a bit.
I also think it's a clip of a much longer sequence, at 00:36 they appear to be just above the clouds, Janek (Idris Elba) says something (not really sure what it is), then we see the ship going low into a valley in a shot we all know about. Who cares about the editing at this point, we're probably only talking about a minute or so at the most. It definately feels like Alien, you can also here David in the background making observations just like Ash did on approach, plus there's a few nice nods in the form of identical dialogue here and there....cool....I liked it.

Watching it again....hmm....I really REALLY like it...all the chatter during landing...the 'roger that' snippet looked like something directly out of ALIEN as did the tone of the pilot who delivered the line....
Of course, we know it's edited because we've seen shots from the trailers, some of the very first ones, of the Prometheus searing through the clouds that wasn't in this clip.

Holloway and Shaw fight over whether the beings will be Gods or gods - real creators or just super smart beings.
He then points this out to stick it to Shaw. That and obviously it was made by something, as opposed to just the elements, so it would be a good bet that it would be there that they would find something.

That line from LMG makes me think he says other stuff like that. Maybe when they are getting ready for sleep he is all like, "see this toothbrush? God does not make these."
Hmpf... I'm not impressed.
Mainly cause of the dialogue and the acting. Janek says 'Prometheus has landed' like he's in a rap-video, or the voiceover of some godaweful Discovery-channel program. These people just don't seem like professionals at all. I can't stand Holloway already especially. Cocky, arrogant, hip. He's supposed to be a scientist?? I doubt if any crewmember is over 35.
Sorry...
Movies seem have very abrupt cuts nowadays. No mystery, no tension, no nothing. Just endless streams of information.

Oh...um, hello. I was really, really nervous about the score for this movie but hearing the music in clip made me smile. I'm happy with everything except the incredibly terrible and obvious editing that itunes has done.
A couple thoughts...
I get the sense that even this clip has been edited down... however, if you were the decision maker at Weyland and you had access to all the toys we have seen so far, wouldn't you map the planet? Wouldn't you hold position around the planet and either using the ship or using a satellite try to figure out if there were areas of interest before setting down? I mean they use the Red orbs to scan the interior if the temple, that have holograms showing the temple structure. The clip makes it seem like they fly down into the atmosphere and then visually look for a place to land... Seems like a pretty backwards way of doing things. I do understand though as previously stated that this clip looked edited down and the movie may address this issue.
I agree also about some of the dialogue from the clip as they land. I'm hoping the flight crew comes off as capable and professional as they surely would be if this expedition were real. Holloway I don't mind as I want the exploration crew to have some personality.

well... i dunno, listen to radio chatter from the Apollo missions, or airport flight control to see what I mean. But hey.. this is 2 seconds from 123 minutes. We'll see right..
I think how this scene will play out in full lenght, will evoke Ridleys wish not to repeat himself and in that sense, I like that he's not mimicking the landing scene from Alien. We'll eventually judge how well it works/how epic it is when watched in context with the rest of the film, but for now, I'm glad that Ridley is trying something a bit different this time around.

If Holloway comes off as a cocky arrogant know-it-all little bitch - he is probably doing a good job. I think he knows he plays the hot shot every guy is going to hate.

Naah, Johner was actually one of the highlights of AR, I'll give you that. ;)
Yes if Ridley had a vision for him to be obtuse, he nailed it. ;)
Lol all fun and games :D
Will we see Holloway secretly hitting on Vickers? He did ask about her hidden agendas...
I agree with the general sentiment that this scene is cut down in a significant manner.
I expect the actual landing sequence to be at least 3x longer...hopefully with more of those awesome long distance shots of the ship flying past the clouds/scenery.
What we did see was AWESOME!

lol. He means nature doesn't make things that way, as in they are not naturally occurring so therefore it indicates a structure of extraterrestrial origin. Although it is curious that in an interview he describes his character as the "skeptic" whereas his love interest Shaw, is about faith. Strange that his character would use "god" as a metaphor but its no big deal because you know what he means.

Further to Cvalda and Ballzanya's correct explanations...what Holloway is basically saying is that objects, structures, formations that occur from Natural processes, due not feature rectilinear geometry. That is, no straight lines, no right angles. The implication being, that anything featuring such attributes is a hallmark of a planned, intelligent design process.
On a different note...
Quote from: Deuterium on May 14, 2012, 04:18:13 PM
Also, I am curious about the need for the pressure suits/helmets? The atmospheric gas ratios are basically Earth-like, with nice proportion of Nitrogen to Oxygen (21% O2). However, they didn't explain the total or partial pressures, so I guess that while the ratios may be good, the density may be too low. Of course, the other possibility is that perhaps they determine the atmosphere is breathable, but are concerned about biologicals. In any event, we see know Holloway removes his helmet at one point, once inside a temple.
I just watched the "clip" again, and I hear the atmospheric assay being read off as "71% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and trace amounts of Argon". Assuming that there wasn't a cut/edit in this dialogue, the remaining percentage (after N2 and O2) is 8%, which isn't a "trace" amount of anything. It is a huge amount. I wonder if they screwed up on their math?
Now, I suppose that Benedict Wong's character may be self-editing, and is not reading off a major portion of that remaining 8%. It is possible that there is a very high percentage of water vapor (even though their particular landing site seems to imply a very dry/arid location...but that may be unique to the temple site location). In the teasers and trailers, we do see huge cloud formations, so this most likely is water vapor. If the clouds were Carbon Dioxide, or methane, ammonia (or some other hydrocarbon) then this would imply a much higher atmopheric concentration then what the assay describes. In other words, I couldn't imagine Benedict Wong's character deliberately ommiting it from his verbal assay.
Also, we also see contrail formation of the Pormetheus (during a long distance perspective shot), which implies condensation of atmospheric water vapor.
Perhaps most interesting, is the 21% oxygen percentage. It appears the moon has a substantial atmosphere, and therefore the overall densities imply a significant density of oxygen. The only known scientific explanation for such a high atmopheric density of oxygen is the presence of Life.

I presume his character was speaking metaphorically...as we know he is not a person of religious faith, unlike Shaw.
EDIT: ^ Woops, beaten by Cvalda. ;D
So Holloway equates God with nature, thus proving he has some belief in God. Jackpot!

LOL. I don't think his character believes in "God" in the orthodox, theological and teleological sense.
When I saw an article on JoBlo announcing a new Prometheus clip, I was super excited.
I'm glad it wasn't anything spoilerish and just the landing but, my gosh, that was some terrible editing. It's obvious that there were a couple of shots taken out (aside from the obvious shots we've seen from the trailers - Prometheus searing through the clouds, a longer closeup of Prometheus landing with clouds of dust blowing off the ground etc.). But I really hope the entire landing is approached properly. I don't want it to be like BAM! I want them to take their time on the crew entering this unexplored planet.
As for the score in that clip, hmmm, it wasn't terrible but something felt off to me. Maybe it was the heavily chopped down scene from the film? I think I'd need to hear more of the score to properly judge it.
And as for Logan Marshall Green, I stand by my opinion - everything I've seen of him so far has been terrible (and there's been a fair amount of footage released, even for a 2 hour film). I'm not saying he isn't talented. I didn't mind him in Devil but he is completely miscast for Prometheus in my opinion. I get that his character is stubborn, determined, an adventurous and reckless scientist but he comes off as way too douchey. I don't know if we're eventually supposed to warm up to this guy but I don't see it happening for me. Oh well, here's hoping Vickers torches his ass.
This movie is fun. ;D
If there were no God, there would be no atheists.

How much you wanna bet the film is gonna try and play him as a sympathetic hero we're supposed to feel for? ::)
If there was no Prometheus, we might be watching AvP3 soon in IMAX 3D.

It worked for Cameron in Titanic.
I will feel for Holloway when he gets torched by Vickers or eviscerated by an alien lifeform. I will feel sweet justice... ;)
I seems that Ridley wants this hotshot in the film to be kind of a smart alec - because then it is far more dramatic when he realizes he doesn't know shit and his whole philosophy and leap before you think attitude are going to lead him to certain regret and trouble.
I mean - if he really caves in and realizes just how big of a douche bag he is, and in coming to terms with this decides that though he is worthless, he will still try to do something worthwhile at some point to undo his past mistakes - would you not kind of warm up to him a little bit? It is like - he you were a douche but now you fully realize it and try to do everything to undo all your douchiness - so you are not so bad in my book anymore.

Shaw: There is room on the life boat for two - stay with me Holloway!
Holloway: No, you go and live your life Shaw. I must stay and fight off the xenos and SJs to guarantee you are safe.

Leo di Caprio = Holloway.
Both were big douches who we learn to like and in the end, cry when he dies. I don't know - maybe the opposite will happen and Ridley just wants to rip on Cameron's cheap theatrics.

He doesn't say 3 in the countdown. How is this supposed to be better than AVP?
The "3" has been cut out of this clip. In the actual film, when Janek says "3" the camera cuts to a predalien looking up at the ship and shielding his eyes from the sun. Obviously, this is one of the movies major reveals.

There is a caphugger onboard Prometheus. This is the "last 8 minute" link to Alien. Vickers uses the medpod to remove a straw boater that is growing inside her.

After seeing the movie you'd say that now. But you haven't seen Prometheus yet.
That and a lot of people did think Leo was a big douche in Titanic, even after watching the film.

The clip makes it seem like they fly down into the atmosphere and then visually look for a place to land...
I suspect they were homing in on some kind of beacon. It would be ridiculous if the story had them flying around randomly and just happening to stumble across the temple complex.
By the way, I would love to see more shots of the markings on the ground. Reminded me of the Nazca lines.
I didn't mind Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Titanic at all, right from the start. And, to be honest, I see nothing of Holloway in Jack. Yes, this is based only on character bios in articles and interviews and the various footage released but it's enough to form an opinion on him.
Anyway, to each his/her own.
At least there are other characters I look forward to seeing. 8)
Any one here a guy think Leo was kind of douchey? I know it's been a long time and he had made a lot of other good films since then - but can we try to go back and remember all the jokes and comments about him?
all i can say its : "Benedict Wong and Idris Elba" ^^
The editing for that clip was... Poor. Jarring, disjointed i actually thought the clip stream was buffering! I hope the rest of the film isn't edited like this. Normally Scotts movies are brilliantly edited. This clip wasn't. I hope this clip was just an abbreviated version.

As for the acting - I think most people would agree that it is top notch. I mean he's landing a ship, not overcoming a lisp to give a speech to inspire and instill hope in his countrymen.
Mmm
Don't know about that
The lines and delivery all seem pretty clunky to me
I'm really hoping that's just a result of the clunky editing, but you could pretty much play any incidental clip from Alien and the lines and delivery would be totally believable, convincing and real
Yeah this isn't 'Alien' it's a different movie blah blah blah blah.......but that's irrelevant when making a comparison purely on believability of line content and delivery

It's the clunky editing. The really, really clunky editing. I've watched it a few times now and am still baffled about why the hell they'd release this.
Also, am I the only one who thinks the mix for the music was terrible? You could hardly hear it.
I haven't watched the clip (don't want to) but studios do this all the time. I remember a clip that was released for Predators that was edited terribly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkQ9x0b5s8Q#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkQ9x0b5s8Q#ws)
They meshed to separate scenes together for that one. :-\
Wondering here if it's by coincidence that the women are those most outspoken against Logan Marshall-Green...
Hmmm...
What exactly are you implying, Sweeps? :P
Clip was heavily edited clearly. He counted down 5,4,2,1 and skipped 3. Also the hat being on and off cut scenes are out of order too. nice clip, not to shabby, waiting for full movie :)

From one of the site editors in the comment section:
''I for one can tell you that the 3D in this movie is so good. I saw 20 mins of the film on Friday and that was one of the scenes that we saw and the 3D is so In-depth that I haven't seen anything like that since AVATAR. You really feel that you are there with them. Not the type of 3D that is thrown at you. Very cool scenes by far.''
He is talking about the landing scene, so it's longer and looks epic in 3d ;D
That clip is like a drug. After reading the so-called review yesterday, this clip is a much-needed drug.
Not bad,going to be amazing on the big screen though!
Don't mind seeing clips of the human side..the alien stuff is more exciting!
Only 17 more days to wait! ..can't this month go any quicker ::)

Really, I don't know, but it certainly is strange that it's you guys that seem to be the most anti-Holloway out of anybody else (not saying others aren't around, they're just far less vocal). Gives off a real unintentional "

In any case, none of the boys are bitching about Charlize Theron anymore, though it was an early issue that people took... until they saw her in the space suit. My point is that this just seems to be a remnant of the "too classically good looking" 'controversy', and I doubt that most of this has to do with his line delivery, seeing as there's an unfocused line of complaining between his delivery and the way the character is written. The reactions so far seem to be as if he's being played by Tommy Wiseau, if Tommy Wiseau had model-eske looks. Charlize for the boys, Logan for the girls, but the girls don't want him.
In my honest opinion, the criticism of LMG is a bit over the top. He's a bit annoying, yeah, but that seems to be his character and theres no way in hell he's going to stop me from enjoying the rest of the film.
I like how the soundtrack here sounds kind of saddening. I really wish they'd take out the lettering for PROMETHEUS, as its not present on any other images on the Weyland Industries website, and it does look pretty bad compared to the other effects...
I do like the inclusion of the numbering however.

They get Marshall-Green and Fassbendger
and we get ..?? Theron and Rapace? I am guessing Ridley's logic is this -
Guys will come for the nerd show, but the girls need something to not be so opposed to the whole idea.

Can we have a vote here - who think Sigourney Weaver is attractive? I know that I just don't She is ok looking, and I think she is a fairly decent actress. I mean she can get the job done. But is she anything to look at exactly? uhh .. not for me.
Theron is a great actress - and I do think she is attractive - but she isn't a bombshell figure either though.
I just think the women got the better end of the deal in terms of eye candy - not that that was your original point anyway.
Watching the clip in HD with headphones there are some great sound effects in there, especially the whooshing and clattering of the ship as it comes in to land in the valley. It feels so real, which is exactly what we want and IMO has similarities to the landing sequence in
Alien. The music is great as well.

It all boils down to individual opinions. I don't think it's fair to say women get better eye candy than men in Prometheus and vice versa.
Michael Fassbender does nothing for me. I get that there's loads of women and men who thinks he's sex on legs but I personally don't find him that attractive. He is a great actor though and I do look forward to seeing his performance in Prometheus.
Logan Marshall Green is easy on the eyes but his character annoys me to the point where it's difficult for me to say I find him attractive at all.
Idris Elba is quite handsome and talented. The same goes for Guy Pearce and Patrick Wilson.
Charlize Theron is a stunner and she's an incredible actress. She has the entire package, in my opinion.
Noomi Rapace is beautiful. She has a unique look to her and she's also really easy on the eyes. I haven't seen much of her work but she appears to be quite talented.

Something tells me you would think Grace Kelly was pretty plain, as well. I mean, no biggie, beauty is subjective, and everyone has a different view on such things. IMHO, Sigourney is a classic, statuesque beauty. Charlize is simply stunning, plain and simple.

I'm male, think LMG is a pretty poor actor and my opinion has absolutely nothing to do with his looks, which I hadn't even noticed or considered until others started to remark about his 'hotness'
The Charlize Theron comparison is ridiculous because not only is she beautiful she's also an excellent actress
If they
I couldn't really care less how good looking or otherwise an actor is when it comes to movies like this, it's the performance I care about.
Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, both very handsome men in their prime who could act LMG under any table, you wont hear me complaining about 'believability' when it comes to their line delivery.......and don't give me that 'douchey character' excuse for LMGs lameness
Some of the greatest and most memorable performances were by actors playing characters who were total assholes, 'douches' if you like
LMG is simply a crappy actor....end of discussion
Oh hai mark, just feel like jumping in here and giving my opion. *clears throat* I don't think Logan Marshall Green is a shitty actor. He can be monotonous at times, but not really a shitty actor. I'm sort of interested to see how his douchyness will play off other characters, like Shaw, Janek, Fifield, etc. The scene with David where he basically gets told off about his thesis was good. He seems to be playing a different type of douche than the one he played on Law & Order, so it kind of shows he's capable of variety. I can happily suspend my judgement til I see the movie.
Why can't we all reserve judgement until we see the film?

Something tells me you would think Grace Kelly was pretty plain, as well. I mean, no biggie, beauty is subjective, and everyone has a different view on such things. IMHO, Sigourney is a classic, statuesque beauty. Charlize is simply stunning, plain and simple.
Yeah Grace Kelly is ok. Believe it or not I think Ginger Rodgers is fairly good looking. Beats me.
Theron also - no doubt.

It is a proto-type device Bethesda - a device that will turn anti-LMG women so against him to almost subliminally fall for his hotness. This way we won't have to wait for the movie to come out for them to admit it. Design flaws are to be somewhat expected at this stage - nevertheless. Could you point out which one?

Me neither. Speaking on that subject I should probably watch Warrior.
Tom Hardy was one of the soldiers in Black Hawk Down. He was in Brit crime flick Layer Cake and as a British life convict in Bronson. He was also the main baddie in Star Trek Nemesis!
Can't remember him all too well in BHD, I will have to rewatch that.

It is physically impossible for Tom Skerritt to act like a douche. His innate cool factor prevents any semblance of douchey behavior...whether feigned or intentional. It is almost like having a built-in, personal firewall against doucheyness. In fact, his only known weakness is successfully navigating air ducts.
Why are we comparing LMG to Skerritt? It should be Hudson. Now there's a douchebag. ;D

That wasn't funny, man!
Why can't we just bug out and call it even, okay? What are we talking about this for?!
Lolz, only reason people don't like the Weyland Industries logo and "PROMETHEUS" tag on the side of the ship is because it wasn't there before. Come on people, what you saw before was a work in progress and this is an end result; when I say this, I'm speaking for all of the new effects we've seen in recent trailers. This isn't a 'special edition' this is a finished product; discern whether you like it or not based on the content, not the change it's gone through.
Anyway, the clip is looks beautiful, the entire look of the planet's entry is gorgeous and it was a very unique tone to it. Elba brings some swagger to Janek that I'm really liking, very believable interaction with the bridge all around. The music also compliments it wonderfully. Just from what we see here, I imagine the non-edited full scene will be quite mesmerizing to watch. I'm thoroughly impressed.

Sorry, Space. Usually I agree with a lot of what you have to say but I have to disagree with you on that. At least the following is true in my case. I can't speak for everybody else, of course.
It's not so much the fact the CGI is changing. The concern here is...
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi49.tinypic.com%2Foss4f4.jpg&hash=1ded2627807b6e12c0248c9d6718f936f5862564)
If it changes and the result looks good, then I'm all for it. But if it ends up looking overdone or tacky, that's where I go from tolerating all the CGI in this film to just rolling my eyes with each new unnecessary change. Here's an example of what works and what doesn't (in my opinion):
Spoiler

Row 1: I'm not too sure why whatever that is was made darker but it kind of loses something, in my opinion. But it doesn't look terrible.
Row 2: Ok, so they added the ringed planet in... understandable. But what's with those colours? I prefer the original, more natural colour scheme.
Row 3: This time, the colour grading is actually an improvement. Awesome! But now some of the set design in the back is lost with all the added particles to this shot.
Row 4: I will admit, I prefer the altered version in this case. I feel that there's a better sense of some distance between Shaw and the derelict and it's nicely blended in.
Row 5: It appears that the ship is rotated 180 degrees. It does actually look better in the altered shot.
Row 6: I don't like this at all. First of all, I'm not crazy about the idea of having Prometheus written so big on the side of the ship. And second of all, it looks really fake and the text almost appears to be floating.
Row 7: Horrible, horrible, horrible! I know a lot of people aren't crazy about the original version either but let's forget about the size of the space jockey (which I don't mind to be honest because it's not necessarily THE space jockey). That colour grading looks tacky and overall the altered shot looks cheap, I'm afraid.
INB4 somebody twists my words and says I'm attacking Ridley Scott. I'm merely commenting on what is already there.
I would also consider the fact that it is 3D movie, so they might rearrange things in the shot to appear more shallow/deep in 3D.

And I wish people will let other people air their own opinions, even if they may not be, "OMG! This film is going to be epic in every way! Everything looks perfect so far."
I get that you want to wait for the film before you pass judgement but if all the footage, stills, articles and other content released isn't enough to pass judgement, then studios may as well just stop releasing any kind of content and just say, "Wait for the film before you comment."
I would even argue that they've shown too much already. But it was my choice to watch the footage and that's not the issue here.

You have twisted my words numerous times and have even said that the women on this forum seem more snarky. Whenever somebody brings something up that they don't like and you don't share the same views, you're all up in arms and say it's tedious. So you can cite your concerns but we can't cite ours?

He certainly was, but he was gruff in
Aliens, and just a little pretty in
Terminator. I guess it comes down to which one you can picture fitting better into a Calvin Klein commercial. ;D

You admire his manliness, I get that. I don't think there's a bloke on here that doesn't secretly hold a little man-love for Hicks. :laugh:
Biehn is gorgeous....and has that bad boy quality as well. Remember his nude scene in The Terminator....dayum he looked good!

I certainly remember the sound of his ribs smacking the pavement when he arrived in 1984. Ouch.
